“…… The expedition discovers a new mass repeater, which is authorized by Starlink to activate it............ Our advance party was attacked by an unknown fleet, and it was reported that it was of an unknown race......"
“…… The garrison fleet of the colony planet has suffered a crushing defeat, and the enemy fleet has blocked the synchronous orbit of the colony of 'Shanxi...... General Williams called on the army to wage guerrilla warfare on the planet's surface and wait for reinforcements from the Star Alliance......"
“…… The colonial council offered to surrender to the unknown fleet, but the communication signal was denied......"
……
The crooked screen, with the sound of Zrazra's electricity, is still trying to insist on playing the news. The pattern on the screen and the ripple disorder pattern each took up half of it, distorting the sweet-voiced hostess. Lu Yuan shook his head in severe pain and reluctantly sat up.
Weak muscles and stiff limbs indicate that he is at least thirty points unconscious. "Waterfack!"
He quickly surveyed the environment, looking for the target of the mission. The environment here looks like a closed sterile ward. The walls are all made of transparent materials, and there are more than a dozen cribs in the room, which is the goal of Lu Yuan's trip. Unfortunately, it seems that a grenade hit the wall of the ward, blasting a huge hole in the wall over there! In addition to destroying the walls, the aftermath of the grenade explosion pushed the wall fragments and swept through a dozen cribs—a dozen cots in the room, all of which were riddled with holes on the side facing the wall, and four or five of them turned red......
As his heart beat faster, the blood activated the dormant organs of his body one by one, and Lu Yuan's hearing began to gradually recover. This made Lu Yuan hear what seemed to be at the end of the corridor. Heavy gunfire and explosions continued to be heard, as if the battle was not over. Lu Yuan struggled to his feet. Staggered to the edge of the crib. He carefully opened the shield above. I checked them one by one...... The scene he saw made him close his eyes sadly...... Of the five babies, none survived.
"Damn Turui!" Lu Yuan scolded with a blue face!
Although he has passed through many worlds and is accustomed to seeing the lives and deaths of countless people, the moment he faced the death of the baby, he still gave Lu Yuan an incomparably huge shock! Now is not the time to think about this...... Although his head still hurts badly, the gunshots sound closer. Lu Yuan looked around, dragged a trolley of sports newborns from the corner of the wall, and took the bodies of five babies. Together with the protective basket of the hospital, it was placed in the trolley. Then Lu Yuan pulled the big bed curtain that blocked the view and covered the top of the trolley.
"Fifteen minutes!" Lu Yuan muttered to himself, pushed the trolley, and rushed out of the sterile ward.
The hallway was littered with shattered building materials, and the blast of air continued to crash into this side. "Da Da Da!" With the sound of intense shooting, a large piece of corridor glass exploded into pieces on Lu Yuan's side! Smoke filled the hallway. Lu Yuan looked out through the wall of the corridor, and more than a dozen soldiers wearing Star Alliance uniforms were still resisting with the help of fortifications. However, when a chariot appeared on the road ahead, they began to shoot and retreated into the hospital building.
“FXCK! Why are you still here!? This is the area of engagement! Civilians should have retreated to ...... before they were supposed to," a very young soldier happened to come to this side of the corridor. Seeing Lu Yuan pushing the cart, he roared loudly, "Wait! Is that......? He lowered his voice. He asked quietly looking at the trolley. Although it was covered with curtains, the appearance of the baby basket was clearly highlighted.
"It's newborn. Today is their birthday......" Lu Yuan grinned reluctantly.
"It's a good day." The soldier commented helplessly, "Retreat!" In that direction. I think we'll be able to hold them back for a little longer! Also, the wound on your head...... Need to deal with it? ”
Lu Yuan shook his head.
As he turned his head and looked at the transparent hallway wall. The contrast between the strong sunlight and the shadows of the corridor in the afternoon creates a clear mirror effect there—in the mirror is the image of an unfamiliar middle-aged man. European, with an angular face, a beard, a broad skeleton, and a stout build, looked to be in his thirties or forties. The most important thing is that there is a transparent "glass knife" stuck in the back of his head...... The depth looks like it's almost going through the whole brain.
Although such an injury is very likely to survive after treatment at the level of technology in the 22nd century. However, Lu Yuan understood his eyes, it was now the war-torn "Shanxi" colony, and what was destroyed behind him was the best hospital in the human colony at the moment - in this case, if you want to recover to a normal level that can do brain surgery, you don't know when!
"As long as I send the children out, I don't care......" Lu Yuan smiled calmly, he really didn't care. The owner of this body had already ended his life the moment he was inserted, and Lu Yuan's soul just crossed over to the body that had just died.
This is the year 2157 in the world of Mass Effect, the year of humanity's "First Contact Battle". The location is the "Shanxi" colony planet, which is also the outbreak site of the "First Contact War".
In the year 2149, human beings, who are also trapped in the solar system, discovered the "Charon" mass repeater, which opened the prelude to the galactic march! The "Shanxi" colony is the first alien galaxy colony established by humans on Earth.
Before the year 2157, although humans had set foot in four or five galaxies, they had never found aliens - what they didn't know was that the alien race had been silently watching the human pioneer and then evaluating whether to welcome the humans of Earth into the galaxy family. But the recklessness of the human expedition directly triggered a war with the Turks - they were attacked by the Turkish patrol fleet when they tried to activate a mass repeater that led to an unknown location! (The other party calls it "blocking")
For the humans of Earth, the universe is a completely unknown world to them. But activating the first Charon mass repeater opened the way for humanity to reach the entire galaxy, and the progress of human civilization spanned thousands of years in an instant. Then discovering -- and then activating a new mass repeater -- seems perfectly reasonable to do. But for the supreme ruler of the galaxy at this time, the "Citadel" council race, activating the unknown mass repeater once led to the "Rekna War" that almost destroyed the entire galactic civilization! So...... They forbade it to come again!
After the Turkish patrol fleet attacked the human expedition, one of the surviving ships withdrew to the "Shanxi" colony, and then the Turkish fleet chased after it......
"You're a good guy!" The soldier showed a touched expression, he lowered the electromagnetic assault rifle in his hand slightly, pulled out the pistol on his leg and handed it to Lu Yuan. "Take it with you, I hope you can use it!"
"Louis, will you be lucky enough to know your name?" Lu Yuan took the pistol with one hand, and then stretched out his hand to him.
"Channing. Williams, it's a pleasure to meet you......" He looked at the white coat on Lu Yuan's body and the dropped badge, and could only say vaguely, "Doctor." ”
"Which Williams is it?" Lu Yuan asked in some surprise, it seems to be a coincidence?
"Aya, that's that Williams." QIAN Ning. Williams replied helplessly. No matter who it is, as long as they hear that his surname is Williams, they will naturally want to know whether he has anything to do with the current commander of the garrison of the "Shanxi" colony, General Williams.
"It's my pleasure." Lu Yuan shook his hand with a smile, turned around and pushed the car and ran away. Lu Yuan's surprise was not because of General Williams, but because of General Williams's granddaughter, Ashley. Williams, the partner of the protagonist Shepard. The colony of "Shanxi" finally fell, and General Williams, as the only general in human history who surrendered to aliens, can imagine the fate.
As a military family, Ashley. Williams' father was a private all his life and never got promoted.
"Good luck." Lu Yuan can only say this, he doesn't even know if Qian Ning is Ashley's father, God knows how many children General Williams has, you must know that their family is quite capable of giving birth. (Ashley has three younger sisters...... )

"It's right here!" Lu Yuan pushed the car into a large semi-enclosed room, and the gunfire had been thrown far behind. This is the seventeenth floor of the top floor of the hospital, and it will take some time for the Marines to attack it.
Lu Yuan tore off a sleeve and tied it to his arm, controlling the artery slightly. Then he found a scalpel and cut off one of the fingers of his left hand with his teeth! Because the arteries are confined and the blood just flows out peacefully. "Ahhh Lu Yuan yelled a few times to relieve the pain, "Damn it! I shouldn't have agreed with that woman! He shouted as he flung his arm and began to draw patterns out of his own blood.
It seems that with the change of body, the soul has not yet adapted, and it seems that even the ability to endure pain has decreased significantly! And more mental power has to be used to control the body - because most of the brainstem of this body has been cut off......
"Ah!!!h Another finger fell into the dust...... When four of the five fingers of his left hand were cut off, and Lu Yuan lost thousands of milliliters of blood, the magic array was finally arranged!
"Ha~ha~" Lu Yuan sighed loudly, and used the power of his soul to launch the magic array, and then his spirit and the hand of unknown time and space were held together!
The cart placed in the middle of the magic array shriveled up in a burst of blood-colored light—but perhaps less than five minutes later, just as Lu Yuan was about to pass out, the blood-colored light lit up again, and the covered curtains bulged again.
Lu Yuan lifted the curtain on the trolley and looked at the five healthy "babies" in the trolley.
"Welcome to the world of Mass Effect!" Lu Yuan poked the face of the red-haired little baby girl with his finger and said......
